More than likely, antiwest just keeps the more volatile believers in check - I heard rumours (did any one else too?,) that the Russians or ethinic-Russ might've invited some pro-slavic Slovakians or Serbians over for the party not long after the trenches were dug - no doubt likely the (apologising for a coming stereotype) ones going around searching for reluctant unhappy Ukrainians to beat up coerce the referendum voters into going (Milosovic style) - to try and give Czar Vladimir his justification to walze in savior all like.
Little bit saddened by this survey. I recently saw a documentary about people in the convoy system to Moermansk. Sad that the Russians now try to let it look like their sacrifices were in vain. It seems not fair to these brave sailors.
